Beth Martin
Local jewelry designer and author Beth L. Martin spends the summer months walking the beaches of Lake Erie in search of glass and other shoreline findings. A lifelong resident of the North Coast, Beth arrived at BAYarts as a jewelry instructor in 2013, using beach glass from Lake Erie exclusively in her jewelry classes. Beth guides each student through her step-by-step instructions, whether it’s Wire Wrapping 101 or more intricate pendants, bracelets or earrings. Beth’s gift is inspiring our students to incorporate beach glass in new and unique ways. Part of BAYarts “dynamic duo”, she co-authored a book with Eva Sherman, another one of BAYarts’ noted jewelry instructors. Beth’s designs are also available in our shop.
